Ok no worries you look at "schedules" I'll look at reality just over a  year ago had steem worth over 350$ worth about $30 now 

"Inflation-. It is the constant rise in the general level of prices where a unit of currency buys less than it did in prior periods."

Yes u are right if u look at steem on its own rather than as part of global economy guess u could call it depreciation instead of inflation doesn't make your steem worth any more though
